Capcom's DLC business practices for SFV should be enough to kill it outright. I paid for two season passes and felt legit nasty after the second. I won't continue to enable their greed and naked contempt for the people keeping them in business. You shouldn't either, because it's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ gross.

Update 12/13/18: They've now added in-game ads to a game that costs well over a hundred dollars if you're a completist and need all the characters/season passes/stages/etc. Even better, they're hiding Fight Money behind the ads being enabled. Predictably, the forums are alredy flooded with sycophants rushing to Capcom's defense of this astonishingly anti-consumer move.

If you continue to support this game, you're absolutely part of the problem.

There are a lot of fighting games on Steam now. Some of them substantially better than Street Fighter V. Stop bending over and try something different.

I mean it's cool if you want to be cuckolded by a publisher out of misguided blind loyalty if that's your thing, though.

You're aware KI has been available for years on Xbox One and the Windows Store, yeah?

Like many others, I had high hopes that SFV would eventually shape up into a decent game after buying it at launch and being disappointed. It's never clicked with me, and that's coming from someone that's been playing this series longer than most of its current fans have been alive. I don't like SFV. I really don't like SFV's business model. I'm just not afraid to admit I was wrong to support it.

Here's a question for you: why does my opinion about the game bother you enough that you had to sift through my library and post questions about it? That seems way weirder to me.

Why did you buy 2 season passes for a game you only have 20 hours in about 2 years? Also why recommend another fighting game you don't even have and play?
